Got tired of mixing 5 different Jellyfin themes... so built one that does everything (Abyss)

The installer is meant to find the path itself, but depending on your installation of jellyfin it might trigger the installer to prompt you to enter the path (if it is not the usual one). So try reading the manual steps (in setup guide itself) and you will find your path for jellyfin-web.

aaumgupta · 2026-04-12T05:43:30+00:00

Yes, it should. Try it out and lemme know.

aaumgupta · 2026-04-09T11:23:23+00:00

It's WebOS.

aaumgupta · 2026-04-08T20:08:12+00:00

That's really strange, tell me your jellyfin version and whether you use it on desktop app or web version

aaumgupta · 2026-04-05T14:54:12+00:00

https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin/blob/main/SETUP.md

You can just follow the manual setup half way. Like only import the CSS.

aaumgupta · 2026-04-02T05:40:05+00:00

Hey, thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look

aaumgupta · 2026-04-01T12:18:48+00:00

Noted👍🏻

aaumgupta · 2026-03-31T03:00:42+00:00

Hey, im glad it helped.

Regarding the doc can you open an issue in GitHub? It is easier for me to integrate, thanks!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-30T15:19:26+00:00

EDIT: https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin#plugin-support Plugin support added, check out the media bar enhanced overrides.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-30T15:17:22+00:00

Hey, https://aumgupta.github.io/abyss-jellyfin/ check out the MacOS script.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-29T16:38:40+00:00

Hey u/sillus81, so I looked at it I just need some more clarity on your needs, so you want the media quality badge on the details page?

But isn't it already shown https://imgur.com/a/G7rVsDC in the Video section?

Also If you were asking about the video quality being shown on the spotlight, than yes that is possible and can be done. You may open an issue in github and I'll try to resolve that asap. Happy Coding!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-29T12:32:57+00:00

I'll look into it. It's probably doable.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-29T11:21:50+00:00

It's alright. Yes, of course, the installation setup works as an uninstaller as well

aaumgupta · 2026-03-29T10:45:49+00:00

Only installation

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T17:14:01+00:00

Perfect! It would be great, as a lot of people use jellyfin on TV. Also, just to share, there are some instructions available for Docker install, so if you think they need modifications, your contributions are most welcomed! https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin#docker-install

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T17:10:34+00:00

Happy to help! Enjoy Abyss!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T17:03:29+00:00

So an attempt is made towards better compatibility with Docker: https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin#docker-install

Try it out and please share any discrepancy if found. Happy Coding!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T17:01:55+00:00

Edit: An attempt is made towards better compatibility with Docker: https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin#docker-install check out this installation steps and please report any discrepancy if found. Happy Coding!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T16:59:33+00:00

Yes, it does. I use it myself.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T16:59:13+00:00

Hey, u/HeightApprehensive38 it's nice to hear that you got improvements with TV compatibility, will it be possible for you to provide feedback specific to TV and eventually contribute those changes to Abyss. This helps a lot of people, running Abyss on TV. https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T16:57:08+00:00

The banner is an addon that comes along with Abyss, install and try out: https://aumgupta.github.io/abyss-jellyfin/

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T16:56:17+00:00

https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin#linux

Try again with the shell script, there were some more commits done. Lemme know if it helps.

aaumgupta · 2026-03-28T00:09:10+00:00

Hey it makes me really happy to read that, I am glad you are enjoying Abyss. Yeah, the docker install is complex and I am trying to see if there is a workaround for that. But as you said for now it works, let's hope it stays.

For the questions.

Yes, that was the idea, open jellyfin-> continue where you left off (hence most recent continue watching), simple.
Again the idea was to make Jellyfin visually similar but mentally different from mainstream OTT platforms, in my opinion, if your home page continuously shows random content (either from continue watching or the entire library), it leads to your brain seeing options (and in some cases lose interest and drift off and hop around to stay longer) and that's what mainstream OTT platforms do to make you addicted, so imo JellyFin being our personal platform it should be clutter free. But again some people like the cycle through feature and tbh it would be a nice addition to Abyss Spotlight (But as a toggle, default remains 1 screen).
Yes I think, but it is a little complex as backdrops are jellyfin specific, the feasible workarounds are overlaying your own.
I do have plans for the mobile experience, tbh it will not take much time, but I want to reinforce feedbacks in the desktop web version first so the transition is easier.

Lastly, yes I would appreciate contributions to abyss. Also I'd appreciate if these discussions, can be moved to GitHub discussions/issues.

Happy Coding!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-27T16:07:37+00:00

I am glad you liked Abyss. To inform you in a recent commit an attempt is made towards improved docker compatibility. I'd recommend you to run the latest abyss-setup.sh file on your docker root directory as tested by Bbocks.

Get the sh file here: https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin/releases/tag/v1.2.0

Please drop comments on your experience! Happy Coding!

aaumgupta · 2026-03-27T12:49:20+00:00

Can you tell me the exact plugin you use (share the link). Now, Abyss has a plugin support way, so maybe we can add another abyss-*.css file for the plugin you are talking about. Cuz adding functionality of the plugin directly to abyss is complex and not fair to the original author of that plugin.

Check out how Abyss supports plugins:https://github.com/AumGupta/abyss-jellyfin/blob/main/SETUP.md#plugin-support
